review 1: The story did not end quite like I hoped it would, but it did end with hope. Out of the three primary characters I liked two from the beginning and by the end I liked all three. I could see myself in one of the characters. Enchanted April is one of my favorite stories, loved the movie and just saw the play a couple weeks ago. Eric includes a few touches that harken back to the original story, aside from the facr that it takes place at a villa overlooking the ocean. Another Enchanted April is now among my favorites and I would like to hope that maybe someday there would be a sequel.
review 2: 4.5 StarsNice story about 3 friends who go on a vacation to this huge manor with a magical garden. The garden is pretty much the center point of the story as most i... morenteraction occurs there.There's Tony who has secluded himself from life since an accident 5 years prior. He is forced to go on this vacation by his friends Jerry and Doug. He doesn't go without a fight. He is bitter and not exactly what you would call a people person. Jerry is in love with Doug, though he comes across mostly as an obsessed, starry-eyed teen lusting after his first crush. Doug is a self-absorbed egomaniac who acts as if the world totally revolves around him and him alone. While he claims to be a close friend to Tony and Jerry, it's really all "Me! Me! Me!" I think we have all met at least one Doug in our lifetime. Then there is Sal. Sal is the gardener who takes an instant liking to Tony..... NOT Doug... which I think is what finally gets Doug moving along to seeing the world does not, in fact, revolve around him. (Wow... someone said no to him????)I really liked this. I liked Tony once he started opening up. Loved Sal. I kind of got where I was liking Jerry once he stopped acting like such a wimp. Doug..... well, I never really did warm up to him. The story flowed well. There were no lulls in the story so it never got boring in places, as some books do. The secondary characters (the cook, the rollerskating drag queen, the perv doctor, etc.) were all entertaining. This is my second book by Eric Arvin, the first being Woke Up In A Strange Place, which I totally LOVED. I've learned from reading these two books that he obviously has an amazing imagination and is able to take topics which may seem totally off the wall and turn them into believable stories. Not many authors can do that. I am definitely a new fan and look forward to reading more of his work.OH... I have to throw in something about the cover. Even had I not already wanted to read this, that photo would have definitely done it for me. :) (It's HOT!) less
